Elegant Gothic Wedding Inspiration {Weddings at the Broz}

I’m one of those girls who planned her wedding since she was five years old (no shame). But even after my own wedding, I wanted to help everyone else plan theirs! And, being a wedding photographer, I’m inspired by the industry all the time and just want to plan more weddings. It’s like a scavenger hunt of textures, colors, and logistics. Does that sound lame? Maybe. Do I love scavenger hunts and everything wedding related? HECK YEAH.

So when a friend helped launch a new venue in downtown New Prague {Weddings at the Broz} I couldn’t wait to work with her on planning a wedding styled shoot! Styled shoots are such a unique way to not only give inspiration to others, but also to be inspired and push yourself in new, creative ways! With the venue showing off its original brick walls, textured tin ceilings, rustic wooden beams, stained glass windows, and wrought-iron staircases, we envisioned an elegantly gothic, victorian inspired wedding.

Thanks to this *all star* team for helping me bring the vision to life!
